Making movie clips for E-Prime?

[Katie Jankowski]

I realize this is an old post, but I just made my first EPRIME task (using 
video editing for the first time) and I used Video Studio Corel. It isnt 
cheap, but it works on non-Mac computers. The program is nice because you 
can edit videos, change to many file formats (including mp4, which I used 
for my task), upload online directly to youtube (this was helpful because i 
made an online pilot survey for selecting my videos for the task) , and use 
codecs (recommended by EPRIME) to make them work with the script. My only 
problem is that the program is not very precise in editing to the ms, but 
changing the EPRIME object durations (made an attribute called durations 
and set duration to [duration]) was a quick fix (and nice alternative to 
the time consuming task of changing my videos from say 13000ms to 12030ms.)

Best of luck!
